That's what you're told to believe. But, is it really better than nothing? Could there be negative affects from wearing a mask?


If there were negative effects from wearing masks then every surgeon in the world would have problems.

Most surgeons do wear face-masks to not inhale blood or other fluids splashing around during surgery. The 'special auntenticated masks' are used not to infect patients if it is believed the patient will risk a contamination from people performing surgery. :)

New Zealand public health experts call for stricter border controls as COVID-19 mutates
https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.newshub.co.nz/home/new-zealand/2020/12/new-zealand-public-health-experts-call-for-stricter-border-controls-as-covid-19-mutates.amp.html

I wonder how vaccines will go with the virus continuously mutating??

I know the flu vaccine changes each year, Covid-19 is a different ball game, it doesn't work the same as the flu, so I wonder if the vaccines can keep up with the different variants of the virus??
If fat means flavour then I'm ******* delicious!

Surgeons change their mask every 90 minutes, or sooner if needed. They're not spending 8 hours a day wearing the same mask.

Moderna COVID-19 vaccine causes swelling and inflammation in patients who have cosmetic facial fillers
https://abc7.com/health/moderna-vaccine-side-effect-for-those-with-cosmetic-facial-fillers/9012113/


Original message details are unavailable.

The FDA advisory committee reviewing the new Moderna vaccine has noted a specific side effect involving several trial participants who have cosmetic facial fillers.

Local board certified dermatologist Dr. Shirley Chi explains what the FDA committee noted.

"In these cases the patients all had swelling and inflammation in the area that was given the filler. A couple of the patients had cheek filler six months prior to their vaccine and one patient had lip filler done two days after the vaccine. All were treated with steroids and anti-histamines and all of their reactions resolved," she said.

Millions of people have physician administered cosmetic facial fillers to smooth out fine lines, wrinkles and to enhance cheeks and lips. Chi says the reaction to the vaccine is immunological.

"Your immune system which causes inflammation is revved up when you get a vaccine, that's how it's supposed to work. So it makes sense that you would see an immune response in certain areas where they see some substance that is not a naturally occurring substance in your body" says Chi.

Chi also says to not let this stop you from getting the vaccine when your turn comes up and that all the derma fillers reactions were easily treated by medical personnel.

I have worked in operating theatres and i can tell you that is not true. Guidelines may advise this but in reality.....
Remember Caz. Never argue with an idiot. They will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

You're right. I should have said "Surgeons SHOULD change their mask every 90 minuets". Whether or not the practice is adhered to, that is what is recommended.

Original message details are unavailable.

Wherever the surgeon operates more than 2-3 hours at a stretch, he/she should change their face mask every 2 hours, ideally every 90 minutes. Even in high volume ophthalmic surgery, in which the surgeon performs multiple procedures, he/she should change their masks every 90-120 minutes.

The current vaccine implementation will not substantially reduce viral spread, hospitalizations, or fatalities until the 100 million Americans with comorbidities can be fully immunized, which will take until the late spring.
